The Huron Expositor, 1996-12-25, Page 9Mitchell Hawks home -and -home this week Cents win squeaker to deep -6 Irish Seaforth's Centenaires cuffed the Irish 6 with their sixth -straight loss with an important 4-3 win at Lucan Wednesday night. The two Ontario Hockey Association Junior "D"evel- opment League teams played again Sunday night in Seaforth, but this paper went to press before then. Wednesday's earnest win gives the local juniors a leg up on their next crucial fort- night. Exeter is well out in front of the closest Morenz Division race in years, but you could throw a blanket over the other four con- tenders for only three playoff spots, all of whom are play- ing .500 or better hockey. No better time then for a neighbourly home -and -home for the holidays between two of these, and jolly old foes to. Old Redmen return The Clinton Central Huron Secondary School hockey team that made it to the Ontario semi-finals 1993 is playing a reunion game against this season's Redmen squad this Saturday (Dec. 28) at 8 p.m. Jeff McGregor, the team's goalie now and a backup on that WOSSA championship of several seasons ago, says SECO& HOCKEY all brit three of the 18 former Redmen have agreed to play in the fund-raising exhibition.

They work off the turkey at Mitchell in Friday night festivities begin- ning at 8:35, then back in Seaforth for plum pudding Sunday at 8:30 in the evening. HEAD-TO-HEAD At press time the Cents were one point up in the standings, but the Hawks had two games in hand, two fewer losses and the edge in head-to-head encounters so far this season. The two teams tied 2-2 in Mitchell and the Hawks won 3-1 in Seaforth the last time they played, a month ago. The first weekend in January the Centenaires play three in 42 hours, two on the road. Brent Hulley and Steve Mclnally drilled goals with good shots to give the Cents a 2-0 lead after the first peri- od last Wednesday. It was 3-2 Seaforth after two. Greg Matthison got Seaforth's third goal, on the powerplay, after a deft feed from Steve Geiger. Geiger's zinger from the point made it 4-2 in the third, before the Irish pulled to within one again, on the pow- erplay with 4:09 left in the game. Charles Robertson recorded the much-needed win in net, facing 23 shots. The Cents had 31.
